DRI P- PAN FOR WINDOWS.

SPEGIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 289,174, dated November27, 1883.

Application filed March 10, 1883.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WINFIELD S. TAYLOR, a citizen of the United States,residing at Trenton, in the county of Mercer and State of New Jersey,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Window-CleaningAttachments, of which the following is a specification, reference beinghad therein to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to drip-pans adapted to be applied to windows tocatch the dripwater when the windows are being washed, the object beingto provide an inexpensive and durable drip-pan adapted to be adjusted tofit windows of any width and discharge the dripwater on the outside ofthe window, thus preventing any splashing or dripping of the Wastewater.

The invention consists in the improved construction and combinations ofparts, hereinafter fully described, and pointed outin the claim.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improvement. Fig. 2is a reversed plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is-a transverse section onthe line a: m.

A B represent the pan-sections, each .pr0- vided with longitudinalupturned edges or curves at c and end flanges or upturned edges, 1) b.The under sides of the edges of the section A form beads c 0, adapted toenter the hollow beads or grooves 01 d, formed upon the inner sides ofthe edges of the section B. Thus it will be seen that the section A isadapted to (No model.)

be slid under section B to adjust the pan to any desired width.

D D represent lugs or ears secured, respectively, to the outer sides ofthe end flanges, b b, of the pan. These lugs are adapted to fit betweenthe side .cleats of the window-frame to secure the pan in place.

It will be apparent that my improvement combines simplicity and economyof construction with durability and efficiency in use, and that it willeffectually prevent the splashing and dripping of waste water upon theinner side of the window-sill, or upon the carpet within a room, duringthe washing of the windows.

I am aware that it is not new to provide a longitudinally-adjustabledrip-pan for use in cleaning windows; hence I make no broad claim tosuch construction 3 but hat I claim is- A drip-pan adapted to beattached to a window, consisting of adjustable sections having upturnededges or flanges, and lugs or ears D D, adapted to enter the guidewaysof the window-frame to retain the pan in place, substan tially as setforth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
